Memphis Grizzlies big man Zach Edey is drawing inspiration from 76ers big man Joel Embiid.
This week, Memphis Grizzlies standout rookie Zach Edey mentioned Embiid when revealing some of the veteran players he has looked at as he fired up his first training camp.. "Like a Zubac, like a Valanciunas, like an Embiid, like Jokic. Guys who like to get inside and mix it up a little bit."
During a four-year stretch at Purdue, Edey appeared in 138 games. He became a starter by his sophomore effort, and ended up starting in 108 games throughout the course of his college career.While Edey doesn’t enter the NBA sharing the versatility factor as an Embiid or Jokic, he anticipates being a dominant paint presence for the Grizzlies.
